All Big Cat Country insights about Trevor Lawrence

Lawrence completed all three redzone attempts for touchdowns in joint practice against Carolina Panthers, demonstrating surgical precision in tight spaces. Head coach Liam Coen attributed success to Lawrence's scrambling ability and off-schedule throws, noting that 90 percent of top redzone touchdowns around the league are off-schedule plays where the quarterback buys time and finds windows. Coen emphasized: "When we got better in the red zone last year was when Trevor started using his legs," and Lawrence showed this again in practice with a couple of scrambles and off-schedule throws despite the tight redzone constraints.

With two tight ends on the field last season, Trevor Lawrence completed 58 of 89 passes for 596 yards, nine touchdowns, no interceptions, and a passer rating of 118.0—the fourth-highest in the NFL among quarterbacks with at least 50 attempts in 2TE personnel. Only Josh Allen, Jared Goff, and Dak Prescott fared better, suggesting Lawrence's efficiency in multi-tight-end packages supports offensive coordinator Coen's potential shift toward 12 and 13 personnel formations.

Lawrence had a quiet opening before finding his rhythm as the session developed. He connected with Parker Washington twice during the third drive and was consistently accurate in the intermediate range (15 to 25-yard window) throughout the day. He had an early end zone pass toward Brian Thomas Jr. that nearly resulted in an interception, which head coach Liam Coen described as a communication and timing issue. Lawrence bounced back with a back-shoulder throw to Brian Thomas Jr. in the red zone for a touchdown.

The Athletic's anonymous 50-voter NFL survey placed Trevor Lawrence in Tier 2 ("Carries his team sometimes") with 26 votes, marking his second career Tier 2 appearance since 2022. His Tier 2 vote share has been volatile: 8% as a rookie, 66% in 2022, 36% in 2023, 20% in 2024, and 52% last season. However, Athletic subscribers ranked him more pessimistically: 62% placed him in Tier 3 ("Legit starter but needs a better run game or defense to win"), 30% in Tier 2, and just 2% in Tier 1. A former head coach noted "if there's anybody that's between a 2 and a 3, I would say him right now" and suggested he could earn a standing Tier 2 if he repeats last season's performance. An offensive coordinator characterized him as "streaky, up and down," implying inconsistency rather than sustained elite play.

Lawrence is having a strong camp, with Day 4 being his best individual session to date. His only blemishes were a drop by Jakobi Meyers on a deep ball and an overthrow of Brian Thomas Jr. on a sideline route. Everything else was sharp, decisive, and accurate. Multiple beat writers have noted that the offense is operating significantly ahead of where it was at this point in camp a year ago, and that trend continued on Day 4 with a heavier emphasis on the run game.

Franchise quarterback had an uncharacteristic sloppy Day 1, admitting 'I didn't think I had the best day today necessarily,' with an overthrow intercepted by Eric Murray and several drops from skill-position players. However, Lawrence expressed confidence in his health and mechanics, stating 'I feel really healthy. I feel like I'm in great shape. I think I'm throwing it as good as ever.' He emphasized strong chemistry with teammates and expects the offense to pick up where it left off in 2025, noting that 'we should be able to do that, and we should do that day one.' Lawrence acknowledged that not every day will be perfect and that the defense will have strong days too, but emphasized the importance of operating smoothly, executing checks and changes at the line, and playing clean football for plays to come.

Franchise quarterback acknowledged Day 1 was not his best performance (dropped passes, some inaccuracy) but expressed strong optimism about offensive continuity and his own health. Lawrence stated he "threw it well" overall, feels "really healthy" and "in great shape," and is "throwing it as good as ever." He emphasized excellent chemistry with receivers and confidence the offense can pick up where it left off in 2025. Lawrence expects the team to operate smoothly with proper execution of huddle calls, line-of-scrimmage checks, and clean football, noting that defensive pressure (like Day 1 showed) will happen but shouldn't derail offensive rhythm.

Veteran AFC offensive coach evaluation: Lawrence 'has controlled his turnovers and just has a better understanding of what defenses are trying to do against him.' Coach notes he 'plays better ball when the offensive infrastructure and personnel around him set him up for success instead of asking him to do everything on your own,' and credits Liam Coen with 'giving him the answers to the test pre-snap' in Year 1. Received votes in ESPN's seventh-annual top-10 positional rankings but did not make top-10.

The source frames Trevor Lawrence's 2025 season as a potential MVP-caliber campaign under new offensive coordinator Liam Coen and head coach Grant Udunski. Lawrence carries +1600 MVP odds at FanDuel Sportsbook, reflecting elevated expectations for the Jaguars' offense to make a significant leap forward. The offensive staff is tasked with coaxing an MVP-caliber season out of Lawrence, positioning him as a focal point of Jacksonville's offensive ambitions.
